Subtitles of the Movie

One of the hallmarks of Mac OS X particularly now in Leopard is the massive amount of integration among the applications, the built in applications from Apple as well as other applications. You can do traditional things such as typing a memo in text edit and the applications I am showing you right now all ship with Mac OS X. You have e-mail, e-mail allows you to create messages, send them when you're receiving messages, you have the ability to take a message and to convert it into a to do or a note and those are automatically shown in your calendar. The iCal program, if I show the events and the to do's, here's something that I just created in mail that shows up in iCal, the address book is integrated with all of them. If I go here and I use a contextual menu, I hold down the control key, I can export it but I can go here and send an email message and it's already addressed. I have a web browser in Safari that is as powerful as you can get, I have the wide variety of iLife applications such as iMovie that let's me create my own movie. iMovie has been totally rewritten for Mac OS X Leopard, it's a new application, much, much simpler, let's you get from video to a finished movie that you can distribute faster then ever before. You can create DVD's with iDVD and all of these applications come with extensive help and assistance, this also has been reworked here because you can not only use the various commands in a help menu, but you can search help for specific types of issues. This is using the same spotlight search technology that's available over here, that has also been enhanced that let's you look and search for documents by name, by certain attributes and even searching on content within the documents. So the hallmark is power and the key element of using that power is intense integration. So let's now take a look at what's going on under the hood at Mac OS X. I'm going to start and build up the first part of the tutorial, the major part of the tutorial involves setting up the computer and the preferences, the networking, these are things that can sometimes be tricky. In many cases if you're doing an automated installation such as with a new computer or installing Mac OS X from scratch on an empty hard disk. Most of this is done for you, but if times change, you need to change settings or you're working from an existing environment then you often do need to go in and adjust these settings, reconfigure a network and that's what we'll talk about then we'll go into actually using the applications and as the tutorial goes on you'll see that the lessons get shorter and shorter and shorter and the reason is so much on Mac OS X is the same. The same techniques you use in text edit to manipulate text, those are the same basic tools and interface elements that you're using in iMovie. So once you learn them in whatever you context you learn them then you can apply them and in fact in the case of the iLife applications we don't even bother to go into them because they build on the basic technologies and the interface that you should be familiar with by the end of the tutorial. So let's get started.
